    Anybody remember these guys? The Greek Fountains were pretty big locally in the 60's. Duke Bardwell, Cyril Vetter and Danny Cohen were in the band. Danny later changed his name to Casey Kelly. Cyril ended up being the owner or manger of Channel 33 and Duke played in a lot of bands including playing bass for Elvis at one time. Oh, and Red, the video shows one of those record player thingys you mentioned

    No Dude, that is a turntable. In fact I own one just like it today. THIS is a record player.

    The only local band I had any use for were these guys.

    My all-time favorite band has recorded 20 albums, but has had only one song make the US pop charts. Does that make them a one-hit wonder?

    Bands that don't produce hit singles but have sold a ton of albums get a pass. Pink Floyd had one big single but they have made more money than the Stones who have about 30.

    A co-worker told me that this type of song is known as "shoegaze".

    That would be called shoe vomit.
